About the event
This week we'll dive into the science of floating, sinking, and engineering. Children will discover that even simple materials can become surprisingly capable boats when designed thoughtfully.
Featured Book: Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean's Most Fearless Scientist by Jess Keating
While the book celebrates marine science and curiosity, it also shows how scientists ask questions, test ideas, and learn from the world around them.
Featured Activity: Boat Builder Challenge
Using foil, straws, tape, and simple materials, children design and test miniature boats.
